Music you are embarassed to like

Orion.78 from DDR with all the strange shouts.
Now, Jewel (Kilcher) who used to be my favourite artist like a decade ago before she stopped being a hippie.
If I can get my hands on some Judy and Mary singles I think I'll be reluctant about those too.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

How is Simon and Garfunkel embarassing to like? I find it something to be more proud of than some rap or country.

Some music I'm embarassed to play in public are probably some of those cheesy anime songs. That and musical music (Phantom of the Opera, etc.) Not something you usually play when there's company around.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I have made an entire playlist of such music. Observe:

Essentially the list boils down to:
1. Music that is undeniably cheesey and/or unabashadly pop-ish (Iron Maiden, SSH, Metal, Techno, some of the rap stuff.)
2. Music that I shamefully like, but would hate if it were translated or if I listened to it within the context of another media form (L'arc, Asian Kung-Fu Generation, Sparklehorse - which sounds a bit like a soundtrack to the OC.)
3. Stuff that is decent, but probably overrated in most contexts (Postal Service, etc.)
4. Music that is most certainly good, but I love it with such a passion that it puts itself into shame (Stevie Wonder, Queen, Simon and Garfunkle.)

I was speaking idiomatically.

Embarassed to say but I do happen to like a few Hilary Duff songs (Though I think she is abominable lol)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Some Britney Spears songs are tolerable.

FELIPE NO

Dude... You have a playlist named "This Is Shameful"... And you have Muse in there...

There's a severe flaw in your personality...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I have exactly one Aaliyah song. I keep it on my hard drive under a pseudonym (I've even forgotten what it was originally called) and listen to it only with headphones, even when no one's around.

That song shares the new Shame Playlist (wonderful idea, BTW) with a crummy vocal based on Earthbound's "Flying Man" theme. I like the theme, and that song is the closest to an orchestrated version I'm ever going to get.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm not really embarrassed to listen to this, but people say I should be...Backstreet Boys...they are just...good.

And for all those who ask if it is embarrassing to listen to Simon and Garfunkel? No no no no....they are amazing, and as for their solo stuff, I even dig some of Paul Simon's.....Kodachrome brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it....

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Ok I admit it. I like that fucking Gwen Stefani song with the pirates and the Asian chicks dunking a pirate ship into a fish tank.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm not embarassed by any music that I like. I like songs based on how good they sound to me, not how they sound to someone else. Even if I happen to like some songs by bands that other people find "disagreable", I don't particularly care, since I'm the one that likes the song(s), not them.

In short, don't be embarassed by anything you like. It's your preferance. If others disagree with you, that's their perogative, but don't let them dictate what you should and shouldn't like.

I'll get off my high horse now, just thought I'd share. Time to go back to listening to my Savatage Christmas Music.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Electronica and pop. People like Aqua Cher and the backstreet boys. I mean can you hate me? Songs like Dr. Jones, Different kined of love song, Larger than life, Backstreets back. Come on those were actualy good. Also now rap has gotten so bad that I am embarrased to say I listen to it...The 80's were golden.

I can not belive you just dised Big Boi from outkast. Those are like the few rappers left that actualy make good music. not like that stupid BOOOTY BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY ROCKIN EVRYWHERE!! shit.

Basically Pop for me.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

One time I just went all out and open minded and decided to listen to completely random songs. So yeah, at one point I was listening to N-sync's music and going "hey this is actually really good"

It made me realize how narrow minded some people can be.

FELIPE NO

I absolutely love Tori Amos. Too bad id be called a fag if my friends knew this.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I listen to showtunes like there's no tommorow.

I often listen to all broadway radio stations.

...and I'm straight. It's almost an oxymoron.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Every single time I've admited that I love ABBA, I promptly get laughed at. But I love some cheesy 70's pop, man.

darn I thought I'd be the only one to say that I infact do not mind a little ABBA now and then.

my math teacher used to say that there are two types of people in the world; ones who like ABBA, and ones who pretend they don't.

;__;

I dunno. I mean I like hardcore ganster rap, but then I also like bubbly, happy benami music. Not much in the middle though. -_-;;

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I like rap music but hidden in my collection I have Lil' Romeo. Some of the beats are infectious so I'm drawn to it. If my friends knew they'd probably wouldn't leave me alone till I threw his stuff in the trash.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I refuse to comment on rumours that I own a Hilary Duff album.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm not really embarrassed to listen to any of my music. But I might get somewhat embarrassed listening to Architecture in Helsinki or DragonForce in front of other people...

FELIPE NO

I can't believe I already listened to NKOB!!!

wrt recent music... i have to admit that some of the cheesy pop music (britney, amon all) can be bearable. Weren't it for katimavik, I would never have listened to so much pop

How ya doing, buddy?

Haa..music I'm embarassed about... Mmm... I like that Shakira song...Whenever, Wherever...I think it's catchy. Haaaa.

Oh and sometimes I'll bust out my old New Found Glory CD's...but I only listen to them for nostalgia reasons...or so I like to tell myself...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

VGM.

Even though I love it, it's not something I'd listen to around people. Oh, and The Cure is another that I will only listen to in private.

Awww, but The Cure is so classic! ^_~
